All Time Travel Movies from 1896 and on

Oh, she wishes, she does! (Recognise the face?)

A note on inclusion here: Personal perspective skipping in time (cryogenics, reincarnation, date-repetition, seeing through another’s eyes in another time, etc). Concurrent timelines (data shared over time, visions of the future). Magic as “transportation” is just “unknown technology”. And not to forget that Time Travel is travel in space as well as time (the Earth moves…), which makes room for all kinds of speculation about the mechanics and the perception of the Universe. Plus the wonderful concept of “paradox”, which makes your head buzz, until the different kinds of universes fall into place.

A note on movie length: An idea can be fully explored in 2 minutes and destroyed in 2 hours, but some people prefer shorts and others like feature. I have drawn the line at 59 minutes – shorts are marked in GREEN. Feature are marked in BLACK. (Yes, early “features” were short.)

The movie that made it for Bill Murray. It is also the movie that epithomizes the time travel trope “2nd chance” (by basically keeping at it, until you get things right according to the big Fate book of existence. But boy, its a fun movie!) (Groundhog Day, 1993)

All Time Travel Movies was initiated in 2009 based on Andy’s list and has been ever expanding from sources widely available on the internet. And no, I haven’t seen all films yet, and yes, I would love if you would share recommendations and experiences. Please write in the comments. 😀

Time Travel stories cannot be mistaken for anything else. It is decent dream material that doesn’t steal or preach. Mostly because… why would you do either, if you could travel in time?!

I would love to add these to the list, but due to some unknown error I am no longer capable of updating the page code. So, until a solution presents itself I will simply update this comment with new finds.

Thanks, Gary. It IS more in the genre of a mind-swap than a journey in time: He ages, but everyone stays the same. He doesn’t travel in time like jennifer Garner, who gets to try out her own possible future.

But as I am bending the rules here, I will think about it – for when next I update additions.http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0094592

Kenneth, you have the absolute best site anywhere on time travel movies. As an avowed time travel junkie I appreciate it. I thought I had most of the available time travel movies in my collection but your list had many I was not familiar with. And many thanks to Tom for his additions.

I recently moved the list to a WP page rather than a post (due to restriction posed on the number of characters in a post). So, you can consider the present list Zero Ground for further additions – which will be added in red and accounted for by date at the top (eg. “25 new additions XX date”).

The reason for the format is that the dividers |||| can be used as cell separators in your own database. Thus it should be releatively easy to both create and update your own database… 😀

Please present in the format of the page, if you find additions and/or corrections.

My list here are movies missing from your list. Unfortunately I did not keep details as to date and type of time travel method, so you will need to research. My other Time Travel list of TV series contains specific episode details which your list does not maintain. So you may not want my list, that would require changing your format and lots of work to maintain. Email me if you want that huge list.
